Association between hospital anxiety depression scale and autonomic recovery following exercise

The hospital anxiety depression scale (HADS) is a benchmark used to investigate possible and probable cases of psychosomatic illness. Its affiliation with autonomic recovery after exercise is unclear and, as a technique applied to evaluate cardiovascular risk. We assessed a possible link between HADS and autonomic recovery after exercise. We studied healthy subjects split into two groups: Low HADS (n = 20) and High HADS (n = 21). Subjects consented to moderate aerobic exercise on a treadmill at 60% to 65% of the maximum heart rate (HR) for 30 min. We studied HR variability (HRV) before and during 30 min after exercise. Subjects with higher HADS values presented delayed recovery of HR and root-mean square of differences between adjacent normal RR intervals (RMSSD) after submaximal exercise. RMSSD during recovery from exercise had a significant association with HADS. In summary, subjects with higher HADS presented slower vagal recovery following exercise

Os efeitos da ingestão aguda de cerveja na recuperação da variabilidade não linear da frequência cardíaca após o exercício: um teste randomizado, crossover e controlado

Objective: We estimated the acute effects of acute beer consumption on non-linear HR Variability (HRV) behavior after submaximal aerobic exercise. Equipment and methods: This is a transversal, crossover, randomized and controlled trial. Fifteen healthy female and 17 healthy male adults were included in the final sample. Subjects performed two protocols on two randomized days: Water (300 mL) and Beer (300ml). The subjects underwent 15 minutes seated at rest, followed by aerobic exercise on a treadmill (five minutes at 50-55% of maximum HR and 25 minutes 60-65% of maximum HR) and then remained seated for 60 minutes during recovery from the exercise. Water or beer was consumed between four and ten minutes after exercise cessation. Results: The symbolic analysis (0V% and 2LV%), the fractal analysis by Detrended Fluctuation Analysis and the Sample Entropy demonstrated a late recovery in males in the beer protocol. In the women's group, the results were contradictory among the HR fragmentation analysis indexes. Beer consumption by males after a submaximal aerobic test was able to delay recovery of non-linear HRV behavior.Objetivo: Estimamos os efeitos agudos do consumo agudo de cerveja no comportamento não linear da variabilidade da FC (VFC) após o exercício aeróbio submáximo. Equipamentos e métodos: Trata-se de um ensaio transversal, cruzado, randomizado e controlado. Quinze mulheres saudáveis ​​e 17 adultos saudáveis ​​do sexo masculino foram incluídos na amostra final. Os sujeitos realizaram dois protocolos em dois dias randomizados: Água (300 mL) e Cerveja (300 mL). Os sujeitos foram submetidos a 15 minutos sentados em repouso, seguidos de exercício aeróbio em esteira (cinco minutos a 50-55% da FC máxima e 25 minutos 60-65% da FC máxima) e, a seguir, permaneceram sentados por 60 minutos durante a recuperação do exercício. Água ou cerveja foi consumida entre quatro e dez minutos após a cessação do exercício. Resultados: A análise simbólica (0V% e 2LV%), a análise fractal por Detrended Fluctuation Analysis e a Sample Entropy demonstraram uma recuperação tardia nos machos no protocolo de cerveja. No grupo de mulheres, os resultados foram contraditórios entre os índices de análise de fragmentação de RH. O consumo de cerveja por homens após um teste aeróbio submáximo foi capaz de retardar a recuperação do comportamento não linear da VFC
